Treated like trash, undermined, maltreated, overused and abused... all were the order of the day for Bethany Cassidy married to Charles Worth. The whole of his family used her like a wet piece of rag and used and dumped her whenever they wanted but Bethany, using the feelings she has for Charles to stay for him, endures all of it, considering it to be what they she tagged her marriage trials... UNTIL... Bethany walks into the room and sees Charles in bed with another woman who is supposed to be her sister-in-law. Finally, it all comes crashing down and in the spontaneous events that follows, she lands herself into the hot, rich and powerful mess called Arthur Worth... A man as fine as a good bottle of aged wine... Charles's Uncle. But all, they say, is fair in love and war... Bethany is about to fight her battles, with a very capable man by her sides. "Don't you mind that you'll have the same last name as that scumbag?" Arthur asks, suddenly jerking her close. Bethany smirks. "Leave the name, the man only matters." She whispers right back just as he kisses her fiercely on the lips in the middle of the onlooking crowd.
View MoreThe next morning, Arthur makes breakfast and brings it up to Bethany in bed. She smiles as she sits up to take it from his hands.He kisses her on the forehead. “Did you have a good night?”“A really good one. I spent it here, with you after all.”Arthur chuckles. “I think you’re getting a little too sweet mouthed with me.”Bethany winks and pouts. “I think I learnt and is still learning from the best of them all.”“I’m not even going to ask who your teacher is.”Bethany chuckles as she digs into the toast, eggs and coffee. “Have you had yours yet?”“Yes, I took a couple slices while I made the eggs. I have to leave early today, can’t afford to still be in the air while my contractors are waiting for me.“At least, you’re not been an uncaring CEO this morning.”Arthur stands up and straightens his suit. “And I think my uncaring is starting to take a toll on you. You seem to get up later and later by day.” She opens her mouth to respond but he beats her to it again, kissing her on the
The plane touched down in the airport and the large television-like thing showed that the plane from Washington DC to New York just landed.One by one, the passengers of the plane begin to show up and they walk to the baggage claim to pick up their bags.Amongst one of the notable women that descend from the airplane is one with long chestnut blonde hair that is as long as her shoulder with a slight curve upward at the tip of it. She has light makeup on but just as small as it is, it accentuates her natural beauty.As she picks up the large suitcase, she looks around, and then takes a deep breath, knowing fully well that she's back to New York, back home.Just then, she sights a man in a one piece suit, holding up a yellow placard that read Chara Worth and then she smiled as she walked towards him. As soon as he sees her, he drops the placard to his side and bows deeply. "Welcome to New York ma'am. Mr Botter is ready to see you."Chara slides over her suitcase to him and he catches i
In his office, Kevin heaves a sigh of relief as he sips on tea. "I can't believe she is that gullible. One would have been worried she might have found a problem where there is none but she did not even sense anything. How much observance does she lack?"His secretary knocks on his door and he turns to her. "Yes?""The miss is here to see you."Kevin smiles and nods, dropping the tea just as the tall black woman saunters into the office, dripping with elegance and such business acumen."Miss Yang, please, have a seat. You're welcome to my office once again." He greets, holding out his hand for an handshake.Ana Yang ignores his outstretched hand and makes right for the chair where she sits in.Kevin laughs awkwardly and walks back to his seat as well."So, to what do I owe this visit?"Ana looks right at Kevin. "To what do you owe this visit? Did you forget our agreement already? You were supposed to pay up for the modification of those documents the day I brought them and now you sti
I promised you all a full chapter on my Birthday... So here it is ❤️ Happy Birthday and Happy Graduation to Samantha Whyte... And Happy Birthday, (fiduciarily) to all of you guys... (Black Rose, I see you right there...❤️ Please find me on F*, please.) And others, your following is noticed. I love you all, I really do. So... Here's the Chapter. * * * That day, Bethany arranges the paper in front of her, laying them out piece by piece, a calculator on her left hand and a pen on her right as she marks some points over and over again. She finally leans up, sighing and drops her pen. "It's all too damn neat, I need the documents from Jade first before I can determine whatever the problem is here." There is a slight knock on the door and Jade opens the door and walks in. "Ma'am, you have a visitor." Something about Jade's demeanor screams it's not someone that she'd want to see with the whole documents and paper around. "Tell them to wait two minutes, exactly two minutes from
As soon as Charles wakes up enough to hear some sounds around the house, he springs up from the bed, making his way into the shower.He looks into the mirror and winces. "I'll never drink again." He mutters as a result of the painful ache that's pounding his head. He remembers vividly the last time he had stood in front of the mirror like that, hungover.That had been the morning where he discovered that Bethany had left him.The events of the midnight comes rushing back as well and he remembers what Alexa had done the night before. Momentarily forgetting the ache in his head, he heads out of the bathroom, out of the room and downstairs to the living room area where he finds her straightening up the couch.First time he's ever seen her do something around the house if you ask Charles.She looks up as she sees him approach but she looks away as soon as their eyes meet, letting him know that she sees him there but she will not acknowledge it altogether.Charles scoffs. "So we're just go
Bethany watches as he relaxes into the chair, the unease in his eyes the previous minutes completely gone and disappeared. "So... You were married to Millicent Atkinson." Bethany mutters, knowing that she'd rather get it all out of the way now instead of letting it gnaw at her heart like the leech that it is.He looks up at her, his eyes meeting hers. Unsure of how she's really feeling since she looks really good at masking emotions. "Yes, I was. I didn't want it to ever come up... I'm sorry." He whispers, playing with his fingers.Nothing the nervous tick, she chuckles, somewhat relieved, but for what reason? She does not even know."Why did you two divorce?""Millicent was a manipulative woman. Took me years to find out. But I did. And when I did, it took a lot of courage and heart work to get out of it." A look of obvious hurt passes his face."I'm sorry to hear that. I will never manipulate you into doing or thinking anything."Unlike the Arthur of the previous minute, he chuckle
Millicent Atkinson sits on the bed, dazed.Her queen sized bed with the four poster walls and on the side corner of the room, the cage stands, the bird looking curiously at her, Tina also stands by the door, unsure of what to do.She had heard the whole conversation and is completely ignorant of what she should do. Should she leave her? Stay? Bring her a glass of water? Just leave and go to her own room for the night?Being such a big woman's manager has started to have a toll on her. Compared to the medium plus size she'd been, she's now model size... "Do you want a glass of water?" Tina mutters.Millicent looks up, right at her. "No, thank you... Ah, let me know when he sends the pictures. I am so curious about who she is.""But... You're fine right? You know you have a model shoot tomorrow so you need to sleep tonight to avoid puffy eyes tomorrow?""Do I look like I am not fine?" She retorts, a small hint of anger coming into her voice."Sorry. Goodnight."Millicent lays down on th
"So... This is the lobby." Arthur says, spreading his arms out both ways and standing in front of her, but walking backwards. "Even I see that." Bethany comments, her mind still a bit muddled but she's struggling to push the invading thoughts to the back of her mind. "Ah, I see. This is not where the fun is? Come on, I'll take you up to my office." He takes her hand and walks her to another side of the lobby's large reception area. "Where are we going? That's the elevator right there?" Arthur smiles. "Come on, it's such a big place, do you think I take the same elevator as my employees?" He brags just as they round the corner to see the lone elevator there. Bethany smirks. "Such a proud boss, I'm pretty sure your employees don't see your face around." Arthur shrugs. "You can't blame me for that when I've got a private plane, considering I have to commute about two hours everyday, I do my work and head out. It's simple, they don't have to see me to do their work, right?" "Obnoxio
After the hour long plane ride, the plane lands on top of a tall and really high up building.Arthur holds Bethany firmly by the waist almost as though he's worried that the enormous fan blades, coupled with the heavy wind up there will sweep her away and over the edge.And until they descend into the building, he does not leave her alone.One is worried about the other, while the other is... Well, having fun."Come on." He takes her hand, and leads her to the elevator. There, he presses the ground floor button and the elevator slowly begins the ride down."So, this is my company.""What's the name?""I'll show you outside. You might have even heard of it. Your husband is a really rich man though." He winks at her and she laughs, her mind befuddled.She really knew nothing about him. He had a big company, all that he had said when they had first sat down to talk to one another. That's when he had told her that he's Daisy's younger brother and there are a few years between them and all
"There is absolutely nothing you this bitch can do appropriately!" Quinn yells as she flings the steaming mug of coffee away from her.The hot liquid spills sideways and scalds Bethany who jumps back but it's a little too late as the bulk of it had landed on the back of her hand. She immediately turns to get it under some cold water but she's immediately stopped by Quinn's incredulous gasp."You want to walk out on me?" She half yells shrilly so as to attract attention from the rest of the family. "Just because I politely told you that the coffee is too bitter, you want to walk out on me?" Her voice takes on a slight faltering to show that it's filled with emotions.Fake emotions.Bethany immediately shakes her head. "Of course not, the hot coffee spilled on me and I'm going to wash it off..."There's a clatter of footsteps behind her and Bethany turns around to see Daisy and John Worth, her in-laws, as they come downstairs to see what all the commotion is all about."Mum... Dad..." Q...
